Independent since 2015
About Paradify
Paradify moves your playlists between YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and TIDAL. Connect your accounts, pick a playlist, and Paradify matches every track and rebuilds it on the other service. No downloads, no installs, no searching for songs one by one.
It's a small, independent tool, not a big platform. It supports five services and focuses on doing them well instead of spreading thin across dozens you'll never use.

The Story Behind Paradify
2015
Built as a favor
Paradify started as a simple favor. Volkan Akin, a software engineer based in Amsterdam, built the first version because a friend wanted an easier way to transfer songs from YouTube to Spotify with one click. He didn't expect it to go anywhere.
2015 – 2025
Free for a decade
It did. Within a short time, hundreds of people were using it — none of whom Volkan knew. Watching something he created help real people was, in his words, incredibly rewarding. But there was a catch: maintaining it took significant time. Keeping up with YouTube and Spotify API changes, fixing bugs, responding to user feedback — all while making no income from it. For years, he kept it completely free.
2026
A new owner
After more than ten years, Volkan decided it was time to move on and find the project a new home. In February 2026, he passed Paradify on to Ashwin Singh.
Today
Five services, ten directions
Paradify started with one job: YouTube to Spotify. Today it also moves playlists to and from YouTube Music, Apple Music and TIDAL, in the ten directions people ask for most.
Paradify Today
Ashwin is a full-stack developer based in India who has spent years building web tools across SEO, server optimization, and SaaS. A tinkerer by nature, he's drawn to focused tools that solve a specific problem well, which is exactly what Paradify is.
Paradify isn't his only project. Ashwin also builds and runs DocTrux (an OCR document conversion tool), Parsifyx (a privacy-first document processing platform), and Tunnel2Tech — a tech blog he's been running since 2016. The through-line across all of them is the same: practical tools built by someone who actually uses them.
When he's not shipping code, you'll find him at the gym or around anything with an internal combustion engine.
Why People Use Paradify
Switching services
Most people find Paradify when they move from one music service to another. They've built up years of playlists on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music, and recreating hundreds of tracks by hand isn't practical.
Saving songs as you go
Others use it regularly as they discover music on YouTube. The Chrome extension adds a button under every YouTube video, so you can send a song to Spotify without leaving the page.
Privacy and Security
Paradify connects to each service through its official sign-in, so your passwords never pass through Paradify. It keeps only the access tokens a transfer needs and uses them to read the source playlist and create the new one.
You can revoke Paradify's access at any time from your Google, Spotify or Apple account settings. Your original playlists are never changed or deleted.
